    Is there a way to automatically enable the - Automatically install or uninstall required software and restart the computer only outside of the specified business hours - option?

    Instead of having my users check this option, is there a way that I can have it checked automatically?

    Thanks!

    It might be possible that this can be set using a script. You can use http://www.mssccmfaq.de/2012/03/26/software-center-business-hours-auslesen-setzen/ as a starting point for poking around in WMI.

    Hi,

    I did some Quick testing using Torsten's excellent script and this should do it:

    vbScript to check what the setting is:



    Set objUX = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\ccm\ClientSDK:CCM_ClientUXSettings")

    Set GBH = objUX.ExecMethod_("GetAutoInstallRequiredSoftwaretoNonBusinessHours")

    WScript.echo "Automatically install or uninstall required software and restart the computer only outside of the specified business hours : " & GBH.AutomaticallyInstallSoftware


    vbscript to set the value:

    Set objUX = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\ccm\ClientSDK:CCM_ClientUXSettings")

    Set inParam = objUX.Methods_.Item("SetAutoInstallRequiredSoftwaretoNonBusinessHours").inParameters.SpawnInstance_()

     inParam.AutomaticallyInstallSoftware = "True"
    Set result = objUX.ExecMethod_("SetAutoInstallRequiredSoftwaretoNonBusinessHours", inParam)

    Great work Torsten!

    regards,
    Jörgen
